First time trying Crabby Crabby 10/10 Tons of parking I tried the lunch special a pound of seafood for $13 and it did not disappoint. Also free refills on sodas!! Rarely see that at seafood places Food was outstanding, fresh tasting, generously seasoned. Corn was cooked to perfection and potatoes nice and soft. We got the all seasoning mix for our flavor and it was 10/10 Service is outstanding as well! It isnt busy during the lunch special and yet food still came out hot and cooked right. Will be definitely coming back!! Overall : Food: 10/10 Service 10/10 Vibes: 10/10

3.5 stars but I rounded up. This restaurant is very clean and the service was great (given it was empty on a Tuesday lunch). I went with my family and we order almost $200 worth of seafood so we were able to try quite a few varieties of seafood. Mussels, clams, shrimp, crawfish and crab. While we enjoyed the sauce it did get a bit too salty after. I upgraded my crawfish to fresh vs frozen for a few dollars more but a lot of my crawfish was soft (ie not fresh) and small for being in season right now. I suppose I should've tried some of the frozen one?

This place has such an amazing deal and great food! The service was spot on. The crabby crabby sauce mix is so good! The spiciness is perfect. Highly recommend coming for their lunch specials or getting their combos. So worth it!

Quite the unusual mix between cajun and Mexican but looks like it works for Crabby Crabby. We mostly stuck to the cajun boil - ordering up the family combo for the 4 of us, which ended up being a lot of food with a side order of curly fries and the garlic noodles. The seasoning for the boil was excellent - my favorite was the cajun sausages (already a bit spicy on its own). Only snag we had was the sausage wasn't included when our order was brought up but the staff quickly fixed it upon flagging, also comped us with a few extra pieces as a courtesy. I'll have to return another time to try out their Mexican food.

I really liked Crabby Crabby. They are my current favorite shrimp boil spot! The spice levels tend to be a little hotter than the average place, which I like, because it's more in tune with my tolerance. The sauce is so good. The deals are well worth it, too. The place is clean and well kept. It's not over crowded with tables and the service is good. Shout out to Manuel, he's the best! I've had positive experiences eating in and ordering take out. They also sell their sauce alone if you're interested in buying it.

Firstly, went there to celebrate my Mother's 84th Bday. Everyone, most especially the Bday Celebrant loved the seafood combo (shrimp with heads on, green muscles, and scallops with Garlic Butter sauce! Everyone loved the sauce! All that we ordered from appetizers to main dish, mainly seafood, were all FRESH! Service in this restaurant is superb, top notch. From the time we entered the restaurant until we left, everyone in the staff was very attentive! The place itself doesn't make you feel cramped, even for a party of 6 or more, as there were big spaces between each table. They even have small booths should you need for a party of 2-4. Lastly, when we got to our tab, I was surprised how reasonable the final tab was. From the appetizers to our main dish for 6 people, there were many left-overs. We were so glad to be able to take home the left over (our loot bags) So yummy! So if you want fresh seafood, very attentive wait staff, and a good prize for Cajun Seafood-what are you waiting for, come and visit NEWARK's Best kept secret, CRABBY-CRABBY!

We LOVE crabby crabby and have been coming for years, they used to not be so crowded and every time we came we had an odd fear they would be permanently closed. They changed owners a couple years ago and now have an interesting blend of traditional Cajun broil and Mexican food. The interior was also redone into more of a broil theme and there are plenty of TVs to watch the game. You still get to dump the bag on the table and make a big mess and every orders comes with a bib and gloves. The thing I love is they are ultra ultra consistent, the broils are always made to order so your seafood is freshly prepared. There are other Cajun broils where the crawfish or shrimp are cooked to mush from sitting in a giant pot a long time. Fried catfish and fries: We always get this and our little hack is not getting potatoes with our seafood and using dipping the french fries in the cajun sauce instead. The fish comes super super hot so be careful, we break it in half to let them cool down faster. Just writing this making me hungry for them. Shrimp + Snow Crab with Corn and Sausage: We'll get this medium or mild depending on our mood, it's always satisfying and hits the spot. If they forget utensils for the crab you can ask for scissors and a crab shell cracker, if you are advanced you can use parts of the crab to pick out meats from other parts. They have a rare taco here made of beef intestine I haven't seen anywhere else, these are prepared well and tender and look great with the distinct mini rings from slicing the intestines. They have combos and specials that save $$$ so you can check the placard near the door or the posters on the outside window. They also do takeout if you want to get the super spicy version and sweat privately at home.
